The Working Families Party Executive Director Dan Cantor just released a statement blasting Rupert Murdoch and his media empire for revelations that they illegally tapped into the phones of crime victims. And joined with Republican Rep. Peter King to call on the FBI to investigate News Corp. and their biggest American companies, the New York Post and Fox News.

“We don’t usually find ourselves on the same page as Peter King, but we are glad to know there is at least one Republican politician who is not afraid to buck Fox News and the Post,” Cantor said in a statement.

Cantor goes on to urge not just the FBI to investigate reports that News Corp reporters may have hacked into the phones of 9/11 victims, but also the Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission, and any relevant House or Senate committee.
